PAST EVENTS

Blade Runner (1982)
andThe Running Man (1987)
double-bill screening

Saturday November 2nd, 2019

Each set in the year 2019, a sci-fi double-bill screening featuring two classics of the genre – Blade Runner (1982), and The Running Man (1987), will take place at Sheffield’s historic Abbeydale Picture House.

Unquestionably one of the greatest and most influential films of all time, Blade Runner takes on a whole new dimension this year – with director Ridley Scott’s sci-fi classic being set in November 2019.

We then tune in to witness a game of life and death on the highest rated Television Show in history – The Running Man.
In the year 2019, an innocent man accused of a crime has a choice – Hard Time, or Prime Time.
He must pay, or play for the prize – his life, in a game of survival against brutal “stalkers”, broadcast live to a national audience.

August Bank Holiday Monday will see a rare screening of one of the most iconic and influential films of all time take place at Sheffield’s historic Abbeydale Picture House – Star Wars.
Released in 1977, the global impact of Star Wars (Episode IV – A New Hope) was something that not just cinema but the world had never seen…

The Abbeydale Picture House in association with Reel Steel present a series of film screening events in support of fundraising for this historic Sheffield venue, taking place May 29th – 31st, 2019.
The programme will feature:

2018 marks the 30th Anniversary of one of the most iconic animated films to be produced by the world renowned Studio Ghibli – My Neighbour Totoro.
To celebrate this, Reel Steel present a special 35mm film screening of this dearly loved classic at Sheffield’s historic Abbeydale Picture House.

2017 marks the 30th Anniversary of the cult sci-fi action classic Predator, to celebrate this we’ll be putting it head-to-head in a double-bill screening with another of the most iconic creatures from another world – Alien.

The movie partnership of legendary horror film director John Carpenter and Hollywood favourite Kurt Russell produced several films through the 1980’s and 90’s, we’re celebrating this movie duo with a back-to-back screening of a pair of films holding a cult status only matched by their levels of danger from another world – The Thing, and Big Trouble In Little China.

2017 marks the 30th anniversary of a film widely regarded as the definitive cult horror – Evil Dead 2.
Evil Dead 2 follows the story of Ash (played by Bruce Campbell), whose stay at a cabin in the woods turns unnatural following the discovery of the Book of the Dead, when an evil is released from which he must survive the night…
Having to defend himself against evil spirits, zombies and a possessed hand, we see why Evil Dead 2 became an influential cult movie favourite – with the perfect balance of gore and humour, it’s an imaginative and unique horror film that’s delirious and demented fun.

November 27th, 2015 marks what would have been Bruce Lee’s 75th birthday – an anniversary which will be celebrated at the Abbeydale Picture House with a screening of his final film, Enter The Dragon.

Enter The Dragon is widely regarded as one of the greatest martial arts movies of all time – in it we follow Lee, a Shaolin martial artist from Hong Kong, who receives an invitation to a martial arts tournament organised on an island fortress by the criminal warlord known as Han.

Going undercover on a mission to restore Shaolin honour and avenge the death of his sister, we see why Bruce Lee became known across the world as one of the most exciting stars on screen, in the most enthralling martial arts movie of its time.

Hosted at the Abbeydale Picture House – a Grade II listed 1920’s picture palace cinema, bringing the sense of occasion to match an anniversary of a movie icon.
With a bar stocked up with a selection of beer, ale, wine and popcorn, Bruce Lee’s Enter The Dragon will provide Friday evening entertainment with a kick…
